The blockchain doesn’t solve this problem. A distributed system will only stay that way as long as people are interested in maintaining it (either through mining coin which means it gets progressively expensive to maintain medical records or inflationary pressure means system periodically disappear) or it fractures and fails like streaming provider have. Either way someone is going to lose their medical records. Or you have a centralized government maintain records cheaply in a sql (or if your feeling fancy nosql) database. e: gently caress it, a lovely excel spreadsheet would be better than blockchain Ulta fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Dec 14, 2021 |

If it’s true, that’s a classic case of only testing “sunny day” scenarios and/or rely on line coverage for your unit test. Code bugs are like real bugs, if you see one, there’s many more hiding.

For further ridiculousness on the “code is law” folks, most people don’t realize that compilers are also non-trivial code and contain bugs. In fact, a significant security vulnerability people don’t talk about because there isn’t much you can do about it is a intentionally compromised compiler. Review a GitHub all you want, if you compile it with the wrong compiler, and your out of luck. Let’s say you find a way to fully trust you compiler. Do you trust the silicon that made your box? It’s easy enough to create a vulnerability in your hardware for your running software. Let’s say you make all the chips yourself. Do you trust the wires you connect to? That’s a mistake. People are already putting “spy” chips into Ethernet cords

quarantinethepast posted:Has the Turing Test been beaten yet? The claim by Goostman from 2014 doesn't count. Turing test was beaten awhile ago. The trick is most people don’t remember the computer only needs to fool people 30% of the time. E: this is to say the Turing test is like the Beckdel test, required but not sufficient to prove its point Ulta fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Jun 15, 2022 |

Mega Comrade posted:If you are referencing the University of Reading one using Eugene Goostman then many AI researchers don't accept it as passing as it the test was only 5 minutes and the 30% thing is argued over. Turing never set that as a requirement, it was just in his prediction that by 2000 people would "not have more than 70 per cent chance" of identifying a computer, and some people have decided to interpret it that way as it makes it easier to beat. Yah the whole trick were the computer pretends to be dumb or not speak the language is more of a cheat than a breakthrough in AI. I’ve heard the 30% of the time explained as a machine intelligence would probably be very different from a human intelligence.

Not to point out another small version of tech creating the torment nexus, but I think Snowcrash or something another Neil Stephenson book had corporations who intentionally put bad computer generated articles out onto the internet and then would sell you a subscription to a filter that would automatically filter out their articles.
